8/16 Cubs (Maddux) @ Astros (Pettitte) 7:05 p.m., WGN

[illiniguy]

Uh oh. Lawton struck out! Here come all the threads saying he strikes out too much! :lol:

our one two has been brutal tonight.

 

Murton isn't helping his cause much either... :(

 

NICE play by D-Lee to keep Taveras off the basepaths for the first time tonight...

Haha take that NYF.

 

heh, ok let's try this with Corey. Corey isn't helping his cause much tonight either...

ah got greedy.

[marc_foust]

Well Pettite is really concerned with Murton's ability to steal second. There were like 4 pickoff attempts.

since you started the hijack, Does the 2003 Playoffs feel like a decade ago to anyone else too?

[CubsHawks25]

Nice to see Corey's falling back on his bad habits.

 

Either using that big looping swing of his to chase the high-inside fastball. low-inside offspeed pitch, or just plain chasing - and missing - balls in the dirt. #-o

I started it, so I can also declare it to be over. This thread hijack is officially over! Go back to talking about the current game! :lol: :P

 

I'm in 61st all by myself now.

How many innings does Mad dog go tonight? And is anyone else not very comfortable with a two run lead?

[Ram1380]

Just need to get something off my chest.

 

 

WAKE UP Tavarez, you are a piece of garbage, start playing like it against us schmuck.

 

 

That is all.

 

 

 

 

 

I needed that, sorry.

[illiniguy]

wow what a play.

[CubsHawks25]

Ramirez is having a career-game tonight... keep it up, buddy! :D

[otis89]

EXCELLENT PLAY ARAM!!

[CubsFanNJ]

I may be mistaken but I believe all ARam needs is a triple for the cycle. Single when they loaded the bases, double to score Lee, and now a HR. Good thing his bat is going tonight.

you are he has two doubles.

 

Not that anyone is insinuating that it is, but I think the cycle is such a stupid, stupid milestone. Aram has two doubles and a dinger - gimme a single and another double or dinger (cuz there's no way this guy hits a triple outside of the right fielder breaking his leg on his way to the ball) and I'd way take that over the coveted cycle!

[Brian]

I wonder if Aram got yelled at, he's hustled tonight and his just made a great play on D.

[NYF]

A-RAM! whatever you ate tonight before the game, eat some more tomorrow will ya?

[otis89]

Ramirez is having a career-game tonight... keep it up, buddy! :D

 

I think his best game might be his 3 homer game last year.

[otis89]

HE GONE! How many K's is that for Maddux?

[Brian]

He had 2 of those last year! In Cincinatti and at home versus Philly.

[CubsFanNJ]

UGH!

[Brian]

sit down!!!!!!!!

I forgot about the one in Cincy.

that grand slam off Willis in the playoffs was pretty sweet too.

Quite possibly, but did he hustle out a double and/or have a web gem in any of those games, too? I'm looking at the "all-around play" here. :wink:

[Brian]

will wood be available tonight?

 

7 - maddux

8 - woody

9 - demp

 

other possiblities for the 8th would probably be Maddux still or Novoa.
